Starmerella
''Starmerella'' is a genus of fungi within the Saccharomycetales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown ('' incertae sedis''), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. Although, the GBIF list the family as Phaffomycetaceae. Several members of the ''Starmerella'' clade are associated with flowers and flower-visiting insects like bees and bumblebees; these yeasts cope well with high sugar niches. Many strains (species) of the ''Starmerella'' clade, including ''Starmerella bombicola'' and ''Candida apicola'' are known to produce sophorolipids which are carbohydrate-based, amphiphilic biosurfactants. The genus was circumscribed by Carlos Augusto Rosa and Marc-André Lachance in Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. vol.48 (4) on page 1413 in 1998. The genus name of ''Starmerella'' is in honour of William Thomas Starmer (b.1944), an American botanist and emeritus professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse Un ...
